Is it normal to read the last sentence of a book first?

I have an anoying habit of flicking to the last page of a book and reading the final sentence before I start reading the book from page one! It makes me feel like I've already finished the novel before I've started, is this normal?

    I do that too, so it would be more interesting to finish a book.. like "WOW THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?!" Since I haven't read the rest of the book I won't understand the entire meaning of the last sentence.. so it's going to push me to read the ENTIRE book to understand the LAST sentence XD

    And I think it's normal :D

    Like so many,

    I cannot read a book until I've read the last sentence.

    Something... maybe a brain twitch or... I don't rightly know, but it's quite the thrill, isn't it?

    Sure it's normal, but it kind of takes the thrill at what happens in the end away. I actually do the opposite. You're supposed to read on the back of the cover to find out what the story's all about before you read it, right? Well, that's always the LAST thing I read. Whe I'm done with the book, I automatically turn it to read the back of the cover.

    I avoid doing that, cause what is the point of reading the book if you find out what happens. Anyway:))))

  • It seems like that would take out all the fun and anticipation if reading the book..
